dodgem37 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Radu, it's not that I'm unaware of the use of 02, I also have a copy of the document of which you linked. In addition, I have seen color photographs of aircraft with 02 mottling. It is that I had not considered that this aircraft would have 02. It was an eye opening moment for me. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB252 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Radub Just one question; The BF 109 had the shape side of the fuselage slighty asymmetric whit The other side ( one side more flat than the other side for offset the Torque effect) Is It on the model? Or the difference is to small for put in a model kit? Do you know how much that difference is? ( Only for Knowledge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Only for Knowledge) Yes, the asymetrical tail is included in the model, the asymetry is quite significant and is noticeable on the model. It is very hard to quantify "the difference" because it is not just an angle (such as the Hurricane or Mustang). When viewed from above, the tail has an "airfoil" cross-section, with the starboard side almost flat and the port side curved. There are original factory drawings for the tail fin and the fin on this model is based on that drawing. Radu D.B.

Landrotten Highlander Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I pre-ordered a copy from Flying Tigers. Had good experience with them in the past, just patiently waiting for the kit to arrive. After reading this thread I am getting quit excited about this kit...

Out2gtcha Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have to say, Im no 109-O-file and have not even built one in our scale. I do however have several in my stash, and do like the vast plethora of schemes and colors. With all that said, and having built quit a few of the old mans kit, I will definitely be in for one of these. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Looks nice, will get some 109s :-) I wonder why they did not include the rivet pattern (consiting of "o-rings", not just dimples)? Is it too expensive do do them in the molds? D.B. Andrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daHeld Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Yes, yes, yes! My prayers have been heard! From when Z-M released their first kit, I was hoping they'd release a 109. And now they finally did. Horrido! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Lets keep this on topic please. I've hidden the last few posts. The thread is not about why WW2 was won and it's digressing quickly into what can be a very touchy subject. It's about ZM's 109 Thanks Ron Phil Smith, HB252, Landrotten Highlander and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageEagle Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 They state on the product page: SWS will thoroughly recreate the Bf 109 G types, which boast the largest production quantity of any variation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
